Ray Martin

Gasometer · Feb 26, 2003

Ray is back & has he developed an ego or has he always had one?

"I" seems to get mentioned every night.

He even made mention that warne'y' said 'mate' to him tonight.

What do others think?

Didn't he say Warney rang him personally ? He's a bigger name dropper than Angela Bishop.

The only quality Ray has is that he's better than Naomi 'frigging' Robson

[Jeannie Little would be better than her].

Lets not get silly, the other day on ten she did a "report" on Russel Crowe getting married, she mentioned him greeting old friends and there was footage of them kissing when she greeted him

Warney has a Channel 9 contract.That was the biggest puff piece ever, Ray let everything go to the keeper.

Ray is very annoying. Saw a little bit tonight - just about choked when he said the word "reckon" - not really a newsy type of word and it sounded like he was trying hard to be a bit ocker.

i saw a bit of the show tonight. mainly watched it after hearing how he totally botched any interviewers integrity he might have had when he acted like a star-struck groupie when warne was in the room.

that mayor from some south australian town was obviously some half witted moron, but ray didnt come out of it looking much better either.

How often is the word 'battler' used on ACA and TT?

Ray Martin is a condescending ****.

If you want to see the real Ray in action check out this link:

(I think the swear filter buggered up that link... just insert a swear word beginning with 'f'..)

I am surprised he doesn't have John 'True Blue' Williamson? on every night/once a week singing the battler's anthem.

I personally and professionally believe that Ray Martin has earned his stripes as a journalist.
However, my problem is that his personality, as grating as it has become on television, is bigger than the stories he is pursuing.
I don't have a problem with him being matey in interviews with stars. However, I do when these stars, such as Shane Warne, are on the tv as news items.
Martin is disliked by many people because he blurs his roles.
For example, everyone loves Parky - he's funny, asks good questions, lets the interviewee's personality come out. All things which Ray tries to do. However, Parky doesn't masqurade as a current affairs reporter - he sticks to his role.
Something Ray needs to do - just for his credibility, let alone the program's already shredded respect.

Bloody good question, the reason why I was searching for John Safran stuff is lost in my failing memory now. Would've been a Google search.

I find ACA like a train accident. I know I shouldn't watch it but I just can't help myself.

I watch it to find out if a 'Neighbour from hell' is anyone that lives in my area.
